Match

Millonarios bow out of the cup

Junior go through and Millonarios go home, 1-2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

No end in sight to Millonarios's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Millonarios has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Jáder Valencia hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Millonarios can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Millonarios

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Bautista Farías: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Millonarios have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Álvaro Montero gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Millonarios share the spoils with La Equidad

A 1-1 draw with La Equidad leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Boardroom

$3.2M taken back off the Millonarios table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Marcus Vinicius

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Market

Alex Moreno Paz hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Millonarios can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Millonarios's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Millonarios has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Stiven Vega

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

The caretaker keeps it: Jefferson Medina confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Squad

Jorge Arias says Millonarios went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Alex Moreno Paz asks to leave Millonarios

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Álvaro Montero lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Match

Deportes Tolima take the points off Millonarios

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Alex Castro gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Felipe Parra decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Cup progress for Millonarios

A 0-0 win over La Equidad, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Jáder Valencia asks to leave Millonarios

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Álvaro Montero keeps Millonarios in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Juan Carlos Pereira is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Millonarios is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Cristian Rivas says Millonarios went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Millonarios get the job done against Aguilas Doradas

A 3-2 win over Aguilas Doradas, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Leonardo Castro

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch

Iván Díaz wants to come home

“I did not go to Tigres to sit and watch. I want to come back to Millonarios and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Market

Jhoan Hernández asks to leave Millonarios

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Marcus Vinicius says Millonarios went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Nicolás Giraldo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Millonarios is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

No end in sight to Millonarios's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Millonarios has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Millonarios lose Danovis Banguero

115 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Tigres watching Iván Díaz

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Millonarios have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Daniel Ruiz told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Daniel Ruiz has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Millonarios.

Squad

Nicolás Cordero gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Rodrigo Ureña loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Rodrigo Ureña. Millonarios will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.
